SEVENTEEN BAPTIZED.

Sunday was a big day for the detach-
ment of the Salvation army at this
place, as sixteen new recruits were
taken into the ranks at one inning,
eight women and ten men, all of whom
were immersed in the raging Cotton
wood at foot of Cottonwood street,
just below the bridge, in the presence
of a crowd of people, variously esti-
mated all the way from 500 to 1000 in
number.
The ceremony was peculiar, and a
revelation to other denominations, as
there was so little connected with if
suggestive of anything other than a
bath, the only feature of religious ma
ture being the kneeling and praying OF
arrival at the river bank. The
baptising was done by Maj. Levick

his waist, where he was shortly Joined
by one of the soldiers with girl con
vert, and the two, one on each side
plunged her backward under the wa
ter, then quickly raised her and led hel
to shore, when another was immedi
ately taken and put through the same
process, without any ceremony Oh
words being spoken, so far as a News
reporter could see or hear. This unit
the entire sixteen were immersed.
The seventeenth person baptised was
a colored woman, who received the Ger
emory from the hands of her pastor
This ocucrred later in the afternoon.
